'''GNS Covington (CLAC-01)''' is a [[Covington-class]] [[LAC Carrier]] in [[Third Fleet]]. Commanded by [[CAPT]] Jamison Silinsky, [[QBM]], [[CBM]]. [[GSN]], ''Covington'' is a chapter that patrols Tampa Bay in Florida (and the wider Florida area). It has a forum section [https://forums.trmn.org/viewforum.php?f=539 here]. It has a Facebook group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/gnscovington/ here].

==History==
''Covington'' was commissioned on 27 January 2014 under the command of then-[[CAPT]] Christopher Fells. The Covington was designed to be a roleplay chapter with members from around the world. The majority of it's membership are spread across the continental United States. The ship is a frequent attendee of [[Manticon]] and [[Honorcon]] as well as conventions local to its crew.

The ship was decommissioned on 30 November 2016 for failure of the command triad to complete testing. The ship recommissioned on 27 May 2017 under the command of then-[[CAPT]] Thomas Bainbridge. After 11 months in the role Captain Bainbridge stood down to join the [[Astro Control Service]] and [[CAPT]] David Sanders took over.

The ''Covington'' was changed to be the meeting chapter for Tampa Bay, FL, and as such Captain (JG) [[Rick Matheny]] took command, the ship continues to engage and support members that are based further afield. After this change was made, the ship was reassigned to Third Fleet.

The ''Covington'' can have [[LAC]]s assigned to it to help mentor a ship launching in a new area. The current allocation of LACs to the ''Covington'' is listed in its own section below.
